Block 5

Congratulations to all the winners. And a pat on the back to Steve and co for organising this. I hope this will be a permanent fixture every pre-season.

There is something disturbing about thousands of grown men all singing the Smurf song together...... It's just wrong!

Vignal? Are you serious?

Agreed. Banana splits tune but even simpler..... La la na, la la na, la la na, la la na. Sorted.

If we beat Charlton we will win this trophy.

Rare Earth - "Get Ready".

You're clearly someone who knows good reggae. Nice to meet you. "....Out of Africa comes the Congoman" - Quality.

Stood in the northam for a change. It was great. Except for the racist plank stood behind me who was slagging off Papa for being black. Unbelievable!

Utter gash.

Kevin Ayers & the Whole World - "Shooting at the Moon". The Congos - "Heart of the Congos". Albert King - "Born Under a Bad Sign".

Not of fan of Ian Brown but I quite liked his work with UNKLE. My mate has persuaded me to go see him in Bournemouth, I shall go with an open mind.

Well done Derry. The club were not prepared to sell tickets in block 5 on friday. This is already looking like a U turn. And as for all the people saying it doesn't matter where you sit because the view is the same all round the stadium..... If that were true, why have the club charged more for centre seats since SMS was built?

Agreed.

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1814950,00.html "As of today's home match against Gillingham, Saints fans will no longer be able to purchase match day tickets in Blocks 4 and 5 of the Itchen Stand." Seems pretty clear cut to me Derry.....

I totally agree Jason. I took my young nephew and some of his mates to yesterday's game and the nearest they could sit to me was block 9. There is no access from block 5 to block 9 at half time so I couldn't meet up with them and check they were ok. Madness! Furthermore, the club are 'encouraging' me to move to the Kingsland north..... for free! They should be refunding me £62. That's the price difference between my seat in the Itchen and the corner where they want to put me. Will they? To be honest, I don't care. I like my seat. It's MY seat. I'm not moving. Personally I think it's a good idea to open up Kingsland north, and to encourage fans to sit there and sing their hearts out. But the manner in which the club are attempting to bring this about is tantamount to coercion:- "If you want to bring a friend or family member to a game..... you'll have to move your season ticket". Jog on Luker!

He asked to be taken off.

Squad number 36.

Played Saints V Gillingham last night. I gave up at 3-0 down.

Well spotted Steve. Hilarious! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/MatchReport/0,,10280~36748,00.html

If I moved I'd have to change my Saintweb login name. No can do I'm afraid.

A good post Landford.Saint that has made my day! I have a couple of mates from Landford way who sit with me in the Itchen.

Spousal abuse is a terrible thing, as a rule. But of course, every rule has it's exceptions.

Collymore should stick to wife beating and dogging.... two areas in which he excelled, allegedly.

That made me chuckle too. Terminator!

What a beautiful day. Warm and sunny....and the first league win for 5 months and 6 days. I'm off to Notts tonight for an all night free party. Rave on kids!
